Comments and Feedback
Simultaneously with the Underwater clean up we also did a land clean/beach clean up along the coast. Quite alot of debri which in total from both the underwater and land clean up we collected 286 Kg of trash. Mostly plastic bottles, mooring lines, bouys, fishing lines, flip flops and foam insulation items.
